This monograph highlights a selection of fifteen projects by Swiss visual artist Karim Noureldin, all with an intriguing interplay of drawing and architecture.

Nouredlin’s collaborations with architects (Herzog & de Meuron, Müller Sigrist, Park Architekten, and others) are also featured. Essays by art historians Prof. Dr. Marie Thérèse Stauffer and Karine Tissot take a critical look at the artist’s body of work and his distinctive approach to design.
